"The Cuban government called the U.S. Embassy's request for diesel fuel 'shameless,' citing the Trump administration's fuel blockade on the island as the reason for the refusal."
"The embassy has relied on generators for power during frequent blackouts over the past 18 months, and without fuel, it may need to draw down staff."
"Cuba has received no oil imports for the past three months, leading to significant operational challenges for the U.S. Embassy in Havana."
The Cuban government rejected a request from the U.S. Embassy in Havana to import diesel fuel, labeling the request as shameless due to the ongoing U.S. fuel blockade. This denial may force the embassy to reduce staff in the coming months. The embassy has been relying on generators amid frequent blackouts and has not received oil imports for three months. Staff have been consolidated and are working remotely to conserve fuel, while the embassy's operations are severely limited without Cuban government approval for fuel imports.
